J SPLASH ACADEMY

Splash Babies

___ 6 mos-3yrs Classes introduce basic skills and safety to parents and children, while comforting parents as they teach their infants about putting their face in the water, blowing bubbles and being relaxed in a pool.

Parent(s) are required to be in the water with their child.

Starfish

___________3yrs & up This is an introduction to basic water skills thorough interactive play for children with little or no experience in a pool. Get in, get wet, and get comfortable.

Pufferfish

Children comfortable in the water, but with limited skills, will be encouraged to do all Starfish skills independently. Pufferfish focus is to learn basic swimming survival.

Lionfish MORE LEVELS, MORE CONFIDENCE, MORE FUN

Welcome to a new and exciting program for swim lessons at the J! The J Splash Academy is our new, all-encompassing swim program, designed to create confident, strong, lifelong swimmers of all ages, starting at six months.

Our instructors are trained to offer compassion-based instruction, positive reinforcement and encouragement each step of the way. There are three broad areas of J SPLASH: Introduction to Water & Water Safety Skills, Basic Swimming Skills, and Competitive Swimming Technique. As children progress, they will “swim” their way through the fun development tiers. The new program provides more opportunity for skill level progression, regular feedback and accomplishment awards for swimmers as they progress through our “fishy” levels.

Get excited about the J Splash Academy

Swimmers will receive an introduction to strokes and kicks as instructors focus on underwater breath control, kicking and pulling to result in forward-motion swimming and in-water safety skills.

Students must be able to perform all Starfish and Puffer fish skills independently.

Angelfish

Angelfish step up to stroke development by learning and practicing beginner stokes, and an eventual introduction to advanced strokes and kicks. Instruction will also include diving and various techniques for treading water.

Stingrays

Stingrays will receive further instruction on proper stroke techniques and proficient rotary breathing. Swimmers will improve their skills practicing specific swimming and breathe control drills.

Hammerheads

Once swimmers are able to perform all strokes and dives proficiently, instruction shifts focus to distant and endurance swimming, while introducing competitive swimming skills. *Starfish-Angelfish will have a 4:1 student’s to instructor ratio. Stingrays and Hammerhead 6:1

So Why Is It the Same Old You?______Adult

10Q: Reflect, React, Renew at www.doyou10Q.com/stlouis The ten days between the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are oft considered a perfect period of reflection, an opportunity to look at where you’re at, where you’ve come from, and where you’re heading. Whether you’re religious or not, Jewish or not, introspective or not, literate or not, we invite you to take part in 10Q (doyou10Q.com\stlouis), an online series of questions, one a day for ten days. Answer the questions and email them to a secure online vault just after Yom Kippur; next year, before Rosh Hashanah, these same answers will be sent back to you for reflection, and the whole process will begin again.

Dough

Whether you do it once or become an annual 10Qer, we hope that in pondering and scribbling your answers, 10Q will help connect you to parts of yourself that often get lost in the midst of fast-paced, twenty-first century life.
